I had been planning to buy a PowerBook next month, now I'm not sure if I should wait. When are the first Intel based PowerBooks likely to hit the market? If it's early next year I'd probably hang on, if it's in 12-18 months time I'd probably get a 12" PB in July and see what happens.</p> <p>Damn.</p> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00002651.html Intel buys Apple next? Thu, 09 Jun 2005 19:04:35 +0100 <p>I've been waiting for <a href="http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20050609.html">Bob Cringely's reaction to the Apple/Intel deal</a> and it didn't dissapoint. He see's the announcement of Apple's with Intel chips as the first public steps in a dance that will see Intel buying Apple in order to strike back at Microsoft whom it see's as an unfaithful partner. He could be wrong but it fits some facts which are hard to explain if you take Jobs at his word.</p> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00002655.html A defining moment Fri, 10 Jun 2005 22:05:45 +0100 <p>I've just read the defining moment of the Apple/Intel coverage in John Siracusa's interesting <a href="http://arstechnica.com/columns/mac/mac-20050607.ars/1">wrap-up</a> at Ars Technica:</p> <p><blockquote><p>Q: Will x86 Macs come with a two-buttons mouse?</p><p>A: Hey, we're just taking about moving an entire platform to a new CPU architecture (again).
